Kuala Lumpur, 26th September 2013 - 友弟 who is one of the cast lineup for《花啦啦歌舞团》 Singing Market The Musical is going to take on a role of a noodle hawker in the market which is so much different from her real person who is more gentle and soft. During the press conference, she even spoke a few Hakka phrases. She said, “Although I am a Hakka, but I seldom speak Hakka with people in real life. Surprisingly, the director requested me to take up the challenge in speaking Hakka during the show, so there’s a bit of stress playing this role. Although the character is totally different from the real me, I am having a lot of fun role-playing it.”
